    DOHA, Qatar (AP) — Qatar's ruler says the Arab identity in Jerusalem is threatened by Israeli expansion around the city claimed as capital by both Israel and Palestinians.

    Sheik Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani urged a U.N-backed investigation into Israeli settlements as well as Israeli actions in predominantly Arab districts in Jerusalem and surrounding areas captured by the Jewish state in 1967.

    His remarks Sunday opened a conference in the Gulf emirate's capital Doha on Jerusalem.

    The emir also pledged support for Palestinian reconciliation between rivals Hamas and the Palestinian Authority. Qatar hosted talks earlier this month that led to a Palestinian unity accord.

    The conference comes after clashes between Israeli forces and Palestinian groups in a West Bank district adjacent to Jerusalem.

      The emir claim ARAB identity of jerusalem, meaning conquest and capture of the city by the ARAB invaders from the ARAB Penninsula.

        In 1800 the jewish population of Palestine was 3%
        And in 1914 it was 7% with 60,000 jews, and over 731,000 muslims Arabs/Palestinians.
        Who was it that invaded again MR?

      Talk to the average Jew or Arab in Jeruselam and they will tell to to Efff Off. They get along fine. Their kids grow up playing together. Its the idealogues that cause problems. Muslims, Chritians, Jews and non-believers all only want one thing and one thing only... To be left alone to live their life and provide for their family.
      • mark d 3 mths ago
        How can they when the settlers are allover the place.
      • TMC 2 mths ago
        When it boils down to it, the ONLY thing that every Muslim, Christian and Jew wants is to control Jerusalem...even if they don't come out and say it. That's the problem over there in the Middle East...they all think they have the rights to that area...but in reality, it only belongs to ONE.

        How about Pagan identity in Athens & Rome?
      • john 2 mths ago
        Well, Joe, Constantinople has always retaind it Christian identity, and it does so today. Right alongside its later Muslim character. Both living in peace, for the most part. Maybe Israel and the Jews could learn something from that.

        John you forget, that muslim convert Sofia Christian Temple into musk. And in Jerusalem they buld Al acsa and the Dom of Rock on the top of Jewis Temple Mount.

      President George Washington, our first president, mentioned PALESTINE BY NAME.
      No such thing as Palestine, DO SOME READING. LONG LIVE PALESTINE
      • mark d 3 mths ago
        Few cities in the US are named palestine and not one named israel?
      • john 2 mths ago
        Palestine Texas, for example. And a president from there didn't know that?
      • MARK 2 mths ago
        Idiots, Palestine is a geografical name. Romans renamed Kingdom of Israel to erase it from people's memory

      A few facts about Jerusalem:

      - Jerusalem is mentioned hundreds of times in the bible, but not once in the Koran.
      - Jerusalem is, by far, the holiest city in Judaism. In Islam, it's the 3rd holiest city.
      - During some 1500 years of Muslim rule, Jerusalem was NEVER a capital, major city, or an imporant center of learning.
      - Under Muslim rule, Jerusalem deteriorated into a backwater slum town with as little as 16,000 people.
      - During Arab, Turkish, and Jordanian rule, plumbing, electricity, and trash pickup were never established.
      - Under Jordanian rule, the ancient Jewish Quarter was emptied and literally, turned into a garbage dump.
      - During Jordanian rule, Jewish and Christian holy places were left to deteriorate.
      - Under Jordanian rule, Jews were forbidden from entering East Jerusalem; even to pray at Judaism's most holy site.
      - After the unification of the city, Israel extended voting rights to all of Jerusalem's citizens, a first for Arab women.
      - After unification, Israel restored the Jewish Quarter as well as Christian holy sites and allowed free access to all religious groups.
      - Under Israeli rule, each religious group has autonomy over their religious sites.
      - Immediately after unification the Eastern sector was finally given access to plumbing, electricity, and regular trash pickup.
      - Islam's first two holy cities are off limits to non-Muslims.

      After 1500 years of Muslim rule, any claims that the Muslims have to Jerusalem are gone. They ruled it for a long time and it became a stinkhole city. Now that the Jews made it nice, they want a piece of it. They don't deserve it.

      Won't people listen to reason? You know that Israels, copper age, fictitious God sent Moses followers into Cannon to kill the people that lived there and take that land for themselves. Sure the Jewish people lost it, when the Romans kicked them out in 70 AD, but the US and the UN have put them back and they are back to claim it. Those people that have lived there since 70 AD should get out, it just makes sense people, please listen to reason.
      • mark d 3 mths ago
        Then the whole world should be put back on other nations land and wars starting everywhere.
      • john 2 mths ago
        For God's sake would YOU listen to reason. There is no relationship what-so-ever between European Jews who are purely Slavic people (ie, Russians and Poles mostly), and ancient Hebrews who were Semetic people. Sons of Abraham. Get it? These people were reabsorbed into the Arab people from which they originally came. Get it? The Arabs ARE the people of the Old Testament, and the Jews are descended from Ivan the Terrible, not Abraham. Get it? YOU LISTEN TO REASON!

        Boob, Hows that lobotomy working out for you? Go back to kiddie porn sites, that's more your style!
    • Jeff  •  3 mths ago
      Not until the Arabs/Muslims renounce violence and Jew-hatred, nothing will change.
      If you truly want peace for the Palestinians, your anger should be directed towards groups like Hamas, Islamic Jihad and Hezbollah.
    • Jeff  •  3 mths ago
      Have you ever blasted the Palestinians for their terror against Israeli civilians?
    • Jeff  •  3 mths ago
      The Unexamined Conviction is a dangerous one.
      Palestinians know the Jews lived in the Middle East for a long time, and that the Jews formed nation states and were forced to leave. Inability to understand the other side keeps Palestinians in constant state of rage.
      There must be a few among them who can persuade the rest to think like people instead of raging like territorial animals.
      I believe it is not really a territorial instinct anyhow, just antisemitism wearing a mask.

      Cant say that really bothers me.
    • Jeff  •  3 mths ago
      There was no such thing as a ‘Palestinian people’ so nobody could feasibly come and take from them what they did not have.
      The Arabs attempted the ‘throwing Jews out’ because, they have an abiding and theologically lawful hatred for Jews.
      They ignored the wishes of the UN and went to war, making the principle mistake one should never make when contemplating such a course ;
      Underestimating the fighting prowess of those who have stopped running, have come home, and have nowhere else to go to.
    • Larry Curly & Moe  •  3 mths ago
      It's so funny to me Muslims give a poop about the Palis. Assad is killing Sunnis like it is sport and everybody is concerned with the Jews? Middle East people really have their priorities mixed up.
    • Inalabook  •  3 mths ago
      The same way Jerusalems western wall was off limits to Jews and Christians before 1967?
      This Emir needs to get a clue, what's good for the goose is also good for the gander. Abbas also states that the jews had no historical claim to Jerusalem negating all archaeological finds in the city. When did a palestinian state exist? Where was it's capital? Where were it's borders demarcated? Who was it's president, king or prime minister? What kind of gov't did they have? What did their currency look like? Can someone answer that?
    • MR26.2  •  Phoenix, Arizona  •  3 mths ago
      BTW the Qatar Emir is justifying ARAB conquest, invasion, and colonization of the Byzantine Provinces including Judea, Sumeria, and Galilee (modern day Israel) after 640AD under the leadership of pedophile Muhummadud.

      You people should not be challenging Shuvonn on her facts and stuff, she is a highly regarded world wide expert on the history of the glorious Empire of Palestine, the worlds oldest continuous State, which as Shuvonn will inform you, has been swarming with hoards of ethnic Palestinians since moments after the Big Bang, lordy, the sand had not even cooled and settled when the first several million Palestinians were there building their signature institutions of government and setting up the well documented State of Greater Palestine, complete with the Palestinian Civic Orchestra, which, as we know, has been upset since that rascal Beethoven, paid off by THEM JEWS, or, as Shuvonn likes to call them ""jews"", stole their glorious musical heritage. People are always stealing land and stuff from those gentle meek Palestinians, and picking on them. The Palestinians are historically the first pacifists and live by a strict code of non-violence, which is why those ""jews"" from Europe ( not real jews, right, Shuvonn ? ) are always taking advantage of the open minded, eternal, peaceful and tolerant Citizens of the State of Greater Palestine. Darn it !!
      If Shuvonn posts it, then it;s a fact !!!

      What are you going to do about it Emir? Nothing. Like your dictatorial bretherern Saudi Arabia you cant fight worth #$%$ The Saudis are the wimps of the Middle East. They buy billions in military hardware but could'nt beat the Salvation Army. So fat man forget it and lose some #$%$ weight.
